I'll Take the Stars by Janet Martin Some folk love Las Vegas, the city of bright lights With stars to entertain They say that it's something and oh, what a grand sight But I'll take a walk in the rain… Yes, I'll take the fresh country rain And I'll take the stars in the Heaven's above me I'll take the stars in the sea I'll take the stars in the eyes that love me Oh, it's all waiting for me And it's all waiting for free They tell me that Vegas has shows to amaze you Wonders and talents abound With music and glitter and glamour to daze you It's like you're ten feet off the ground Bedazzled by lights and sound But I'll take the front porch 'cause it's got the best seat To the grandest show in town I'll take it in with my coffee and bare feet Watching the sun go down Reflection of Heaven's crown Don't talk to me about wild nights and big dreams Or cities that never sleep Unless you've been awake to see one faithful star beam Silver on a purple sheet Dazzling diamond sweet So I'll take a swing in a secluded grape arbor Silence except for a breeze Scented with blossoms and mist from the harbor Whispers from God through the trees Down to His child on her knees I'll take the midnight and its sacred splendor I'll take the stars overhead I'll take the whispers of heaven so tender Yes, I'll take the stars instead Oh, I'll take the stars instead |
